The CW’s Smallville hasn’t really been apart of my regular rotation, but after seeing these shots from Smallville: Absolute Justice, I might give the show another go. Might. To be honest, I thought Doctor Fate was the Guardian and I blame the World’s Finest #2. Hawkman and Stargirl look pretty good, but what’s up with the Green Arrow’s …
TIME Publishes First Newsmagazine RED One Cover Shot
With this week’s cover TIME became the first major newsmagazine to publish a cover shot taken with a RED One. Not that we’re saying TIME is the first ever magazine to do so, but they’re the first newsmagazine. That’s cool and all, but why didn’t anyone tell me there was a RED in the building?
The Five Greatest Gadgets of All Time
For reasons unknown to me I’ve been asked to declare what I presume to be the five greatest gadgets of all time. No simple task considering the vast number of gizmos and doodads that have been feverishly churned out over the last millennia. But we’re not talking about things that have had some revolutionary impact on society, you …
Two Game-Changing SF Novels I Read This Fall
This is going to have to be short and incoherent — even shorter and incoherent-er than usual — because I don’t actually have the books I’m talking about in front of me. Also I’m in Cambridge, MA, typing this on my mother’s laptop, and my mother’s laptop’s keyboard is totally jacked.
You hear that, Ma? Your keyboard is …
Blackest Friday Deals on Comics
Looking to catch up on some sequential arts? Well, friend, have I got something for you. The fine folks at Things From Another World (Portland, OR FTW!!!) and Midtown Comics (NYC FTW!!) have a gaggle of deals on all manner of comic book culture going on. There are tons of other shops with deals online, but these two particular shops are …
Apple’s One-Day Shopping Spree
I wouldn’t say there are incredible deals on anything in particular, but you don’t have to leave the comfort of your footed PJs to score a few deals. This whole Black Friday thing is a bit ridiculous and barbaric, no?
Syfy’s Alice: Wonderland 2.0
Anyone who’s been to a multiplex lately has seen the warped and wacky posters touting Tim Burton’s upcoming ‘Alice in Wonderland’ reboot. The message has been loud and clear: Prepare for a dark and twisted trip down the haunted rabbit hole next spring.
But in a case of rather remarkable coincidental timing, there’s another …
Panel of the Week
There were some big issues in the shops this Wednesday. Actually there were a ton of issues at the shops. The most we’ve picked up in one day in a long time. There’s a lot to cover here but I think we’ve managed to yank out some great moments from some great titles. Here we go, our second installment of Techland’s Panel of the …
Things To Do On Black Friday Besides Shop ‘Til You Drop
It’s Black Friday, the day when stores open at ungodly hours to offer holiday shoppers ridiculous, money-saving deals. In fact, you’re probably getting ready to go wait in line for a $200 flatscreen television right now. But if you change your mind and want to skip out on the mall madness, see our suggestions for other things you could …
Thanksgiving Day
Happy Thanksgiving From The AppleGeeks
What are we thankful for? We’re thankful for laptops and iPods with sleek interfaces. We’re thankful for how simple you make our computing lives. We’re thankful for the app store, so that we have something to do on long train rides. We’re thankful for the Mac Tablet (hint hint). We’re thankful for the old Apple IIGS, because how else …
Second Helpings: Savoring a 2-Part Charlie Brown Thanksgiving
For 36 years now, Lucy has been taunting Charlie Brown to kick that same football, yanking away at the last second. Year after year, the scene goes on in perpetual repeat, the same frustrated little boy falling backwards, groaning in agony. And yet for me, that scenario never grows old. Each and every time, I feel Charlie Brown’s pain, …
